I still think he’s overrated, because of those two things. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

Yeah, Sheets is a sneeze away from a DL stint.

Couldn’t agree more with you on Sheets though…I’m pretty worried about his health.

Scherzer – 7 K relief performance, looked like Linecum and Joba’s love child. He will now be known as Jobacum.

I think I wet my pants I was so excited. He’s the best thing to come out of this state since Reggie Roby. And keep in mind Reggie punted a ball 77 yards!! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reggie_Roby)

No Scherzer talk? I thought you’d have a take on that.

And enough Towles jokes… I mean not every catcher is meant to go to heaven… sheesh.

How could you not chime in on that performance from last night? Oh well, this daily thoughts piece is one of the best reads out there in the fantasy blogosphere.

With that said, I dropped Milledge in one league in the first week of the season and haven’t regretted it at all. He obviously has the most upside out of these three but I doubt he ends up with the best numbers at the end of the year.

I have him coming off the DL (hopefully soon) and wanted to know if he was worth keeping? If so, I’d have to drop someone (Milledge and Big Hurt are my most expendable candidates).

“Undroppable Players
To maintain the integrity of your league, you will be prevented from dropping certain star MLB players throughout the season. CBSII, as The Commissioner of all CBSSports.com Fantasy Baseball leagues, will decide – in its sole discretion – which MLB players are undroppable. If there are players we’ve deemed undroppable on your roster, they will not be displayed on the Transactions, Add/Drop page.You may appeal to CBSII for permission to drop an undroppable player, however CBSII will make the final decision on all undroppable player requests. Appeals can be sent via the Help Center page and should include the names of the players you want to add and drop.”

I.e. He becomes a free agent a year later if he’s held down ’til then. On May 7th? Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him called up and will be immediately usable in deep leagues.

With Vidro crapping up the DH spot, do you think the M’s will make a move? Is it time to jump on Clement in deep keepers?

So I’d rather give up the points than a potential hole if he gets hurt or goes cold, like he was last week.

Thome’s undroppable? Are you playing in a throwback league where everyone is using 1999′s stats?

]]> By: BSA http://razzball.com/smoltz-to-the-dl/#comment-2271 BSA Wed, 30 Apr 2008 14:33:53 +0000 http://razzball.com/?p=296#comment-2271 Thanks again – I like the quick feedback and information that goes with it. Rather than throw Varitek to free agency I have another team who was interested. I am making a final offer of Thome (undroppable in my league) and Varitek for Tejada. The other team’s lone catcher is Molina. If this flies I would be looking at going from Halladay, Mauer, Varitek, Renteria to Bedard, Mauer, Tulo, Tejada.
We’ll see. Either way you confirmed my thoughts for Bedard and Tulo. The buy low/sell high may work here since Halladay just came off his third straight CG.

Impossible for me to say what you can get for him without knowing what others have. A third/fourth tier starter perhaps that just got roughed up… Say Cueto? If Greinke gets hit his next time out in Texas, maybe?

@BSA: News of the Tulo injury is getting worse. If it’s a groin injury, it could linger for a while. If he goes on the DL for fifteen days, he may not get his timing back until June. None of this is good news. Anyway, Bedard and Tulo is a slam dunk over Halladay and Renteria. Even with the injuries, pull the trigger. Bedard, while an injury risk, is much stronger than Halladay and the falloff from Renteria to Lopez is a lot closer than you think. In other words, even if Tulo doesn’t get hitting until June, Lopez will fill in fine.

@Chet: I do see Pence coming around and I like that deal for you. Take Pence– that’s if you need him.

The other team is offering me Bedard and Tulo. My pitching staff is currently – Halladay, Hudson, Beckett, Cueto, Volquez, Gallardo, Ryan, Papelbon, Fuentes, . The other team’s pitching staff is Bedard, Bucholtz, Cain, Matsuzaka, E. Santana, Sheets, Snell, Hill, Meche. If Tulo goes down I would have to drop Varitek for Lopez at short. My everyday catcher is Mauer.
